“I Need a Good Book I need a good story.I need a good book.The kind that explodesOff the shelf.I need some good writing,Alive and exciting,To contemplate all by myself.I need a good novel,I need a good read.I probably needTwo or three.I need a good taleOf love and betrayalOr perhaps an adventure at sea.I need a good saga.I need a good yarn.A momentous and mightilyOr slight one.But with thousands and thousandsAnd thousands of books,I need someone to tell meThe right one. -John Lithgow”
